Busted?

Political consultants with contempt for the Real Americans they're constantly condescending to? What next, a politician who defines "middle-class" as a six-figure income?
I guess some Republican candidates were busted for airing ads with fake locals.

Ohio zinger:
In a state like Ohio, where lots and lots of people are out of work, you should be able to easily find a real jobless Ohioan willing to trash the governor for a quick paycheck.
Aaaaaand West Virginia:
In this ad, salt-of-the-earth West Virginians express their displeasure with President Obama, and worry that Joe Manchin will be corrupted by the socialism.
Of course, the ad was filmed in Philadelphia, the guys are professional actors, and the casting call was amusingly insulting to real West Virginians.
Wardrobe:
- We are going for a ‘Hicky’ Blue Collar look. These characters are from West Virginia so think coal miner/trucker looks
- Each character should bring a several options and stay away from all black or all white or thin stripes (thicker stripes and plaid are good)
- Clothing Suggestions:  • Jeans   • Work boots
• Flannel shirt   • Denim shirt   • Down filled vest
• Dickie's type jacket with t-shirt underneath
• John Deer hats (not brand new, preferably beat up)
• Trucker hats (not brand new, preferably beat up)
• No Thin Stripes 
Of course, you'd think they could at least spell "John Deere" right, but hey.

Personally I don't know what the problem is, since the guys in the ads seem to be the GOP's base anyway: they do what they're told to do and say what they're told to say, all without as much as a single thought of their own popping into their pretty little heads.

So where's the beef?
